Technology applied to sports monitoring and development 🚀

The new regulations incorporate technological tools for monitoring athletes. It provides for the implementation of digital platforms to record performance data, plan training sessions, and manage the balance with studies or work. Additionally, the use of biomechanical analysis and wearable tech will be encouraged to optimize performance and prevent injuries. The Government will also invest in management software to simplify athletes' administrative procedures.

The big leap: from scholarship to GPS in sneakers 😅

Now athletes will not only have to train hard but also learn to charge the GPS in their sneakers. The new requirements include syncing the heart rate monitor to the cloud before breakfast. Of course, if the WiFi fails at the sports center, the athlete can justify their poor performance with a simple my tablet ran out of battery. At least the bureaucracy will be faster, even if the sweat remains the same.
